It's safe to say
There are darker things in the streets these days
Than kids with guns and moms on drugs
Things that we don't let on
If you're free
Then take to the city streets
With your god-given speech
Screaming "fuck the police"
You can see the state
Getting armed for the new class war
Perpetuate divide
And say it's the law
There are blacker things
Living deep within all our hearts
There are darker things in our hearts
Than we let on
And it's safe to say
There are darker things in the street these days
Than dirty skies and getting high
Things that control our lives
And the priests
Were all demoted and released
Check the property value
The neighbors didn't even mind
You can see the state
Getting armed for the new class war
Perpetuate divide
And say it's the law
There are blacker things
Living deep within all our hearts
There are darker things in our hearts
Than we let on
Doesn't anyone want to start again?
Create a new aesthetic for the new American
Not state traitors taking, day trading and date raping
To their hearts content as the work day ends
I laid down so tired
I woke up awakening
